Timothy Weah was with Celtic in spirit today.

The Hoops hosted Hearts at Parkhead in their final Premiership game of the season, allowing them to lift their eighth successive league title.

Weah, who joined Celtic on a half-season loan from Paris Saint-Germain in January, left Parkhead earlier this month to team up with his United States team-mates for the forthcoming Under-20 World Cup.

The 19-year-old star revealed to The Scottish Sun that a second loan at Parkhead was ‘definitely an option’ last week.

And today Weah posted on Instagram that he’ll ‘Always [be] a Celt’.

Returning to Celtic would demonstrate that Weah has an enormous amount of affection for the club.

Because, well, he wasn’t playing all that often.

He started only two games for the Hoops after Neil Lennon took over from Brendan Rodgers in February, though he never cried or sulked in the media over his lack of game time.

He had an exemplary attitude until the very end and a lot of Celtic fans wouldn’t mind him back, especially given that they didn’t really see everything he was capable of.
